Sociology usually invokes high intellectual and practical enthusiasm. It offers weighty and complex sets of theories, knowledge, and claims that comprise various issues regarding humans and their place and activity in the world. It inevitably provides scientific explanations and assumptions about how societies exist, interact, and operate. Therefore, research in any sociological topic builds great hopes and expectations of knowledge, understanding, and progress.
